note in the auction it says "You are bidding on a New In Box, Brushed Nickel, Hansgrohe Hand Shower."

I asked the seller what model/number of Hansgrohe this is and his reply?

"It is not a name brand. There is no model number either.


Well - can I tell you how pissed off I'd be if I actually used the BIN and got this and it wasn't Hansgrohe?

I did email him back and asked him why he was advertising it as Hansgrohe if it's not but haven't heard back from him of course.

well feel free to bomb him with emails and ask about this particular Hansgrohe model.

I asked him "I don't see the words Hansgrohe in your auction picture. What model/number is this?"

Here's a plan. Let's all "ask seller a question" him about what the model number is. I just did See how long it takes him to pull out his hair.

I just did it, too, trying to sound soooo innocent:

"Hi: Can you tell me the shipping cost to 92549, please? And I don't see a photo of the label or maker's mark for Hansgrohe. It's important to me that I get the right shower head. Thanks in advance."

This is just like junior high! Love it.

Done-- done it. looks like he would put the question on to the auctions so he would stop getting asked. LOL

Feels like calling store on phone asking if you got Prince Albert in a can if so to let him out. takes me way back.

Oh everyone put it in your watch list too. I hate watch list with lots of watchers and then bam no bids.

Well he responded to all my questions this morning. He sent this reply.

This is not marked, but there is contact info on the back for Hansgrohe. Also I have updated the pictures so the model number and the bar code can be seen. Thank you for your interest.

I checked the listing and he has updated it with pictures of the UPC number and a photo with the Hansgrohe warrenty.

I think all the questions got to him

glassgrl - Hope bugging this guy helped. Is this what you were looking for now that he has posted the information in the listing?

Now that you have what you were after, would you please edit your original post and remove the seller's name?

I've been nervous about this because you CAN get suspended for posting any eBayer's contact information in any public area, including these boards.

It's a black-letter rule. eBay is very clear on this.

All it takes is for someone to report you.
